What You Can Expect

What can you expect from the following services?

For a Comprehensive Medication Review (CMR):

You will be asked to have all your medications with you. A trained MTM provider will review each of them, including how much and how often you take them. The review usually takes about 30 minutes. After the review, you will receive a summary of the discussion, Medication Action Plan, and a Personal Medication List (PML). A sample of the PML is included at the end of this document.

For a Targeted Medication Review (TMR):

Once every few months, your medications will be reviewed for certain medication issues. We may contact your health care provider if we find a potential problem.

It's easy to get started!

If you meet the eligibility criteria above, you will be automatically enrolled in the MTM Program, including CMR and TMR services. You will get a welcome letter that tells you how to schedule a CMR.

There is no added cost to eligible beneficiaries for this program. You may cancel your enrollment in the MTM program at any time. You may also choose to take part in only certain services you find valuable. Your prescription drug benefits will not change if you do or do not participate in this program.

For more information, or to receive MTM service documents, call the customer or member service phone number on the back of your member ID card. Ask to speak to someone about the MTM Program.
